STEP 13
If the cable has any fraying at the end, grasp the frayed steel fibers with needle-nose pliers and gently
squeeze and twist the steel fibers together, as shown in Figure 13.1. This will make it easier to insert
the cable end into the housing. NOTE: Make sure there are no frayed steel fibers caught outside the
cable housing, in order to avoid damaging the cable or the housing. Thread the end of the cable into
the plastic inner layer of the NEW black cable housing, as pictured in Figure 13.2.
STEP 14
Once the steel cable is threaded into the
cable housing, turn the entire footboard
frame assembly on its side, so the weight
of the footboard does not pull downward on
the attached cable (see Figure 14.1).
Slide the housing all the way down the
cable, until it goes into the screw top and
stops, as in Figure 14.2. At the other end
of the housing, the steel cable should be
exposed as in Figure 14.3.
